    Who rebuilds & repairs distributors??

    Can anyone fix this? I have seen these cast iron distributors broken every so often, usually on mangled VW units.

    Its a real 67 911S distributor so its worth saving.

    Emails me or post a response please.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I've had Don Marks do two distributors for me. He's well known in the 356 world, less so in the 911 world, and does great work. I don't know if he can do this repair, but it's worth asking. He can be reached at 503-835-8410 between 6 and 9 PM Pacific time.

    There are threads here on distributor repair, mostly dealing with advance issues etc but one of those people ought to be able to help.

    i checked with ed last year and i could swear he said he didn't do 911 dizzys. perhaps i've been shunned

    as it was i went with moto-parts.com and was pleased with the result.

    Someone else mentioned Ed to me and... damn. He probably lives a couple miles away and I've sent two dizzy's out to IAE (where's the emoticon with me banging my head against the wall?)
